Dunyā Mediterranean Bistro & Wine Bar

Visiting this restaurant at night in San Francisco was a really special experience. The soft, warm lighting made the whole place feel cozy and welcoming right from the moment I walked in. It was the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and really enjoy your meal and company. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, which made the evening feel relaxed and comfortable. The menu was full of interesting and creative dishes, and each plate looked like it was made with a lot of care and skill. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying, and I loved how thoughtfully everything was presented. It felt like more than just dinner—it was a bit of an indulgence and a chance to savor the moment. The decor added to the experience too, with a chic yet inviting vibe that’s perfect for both casual nights out or something a bit more special. What I really appreciated was how intimate the space felt at night. It was quiet enough to have a good conversation without yelling, and I felt like the whole experience was designed to make guests feel welcomed and comfortable. Overall, this restaurant is a great choice if you want a relaxed, enjoyable evening with delicious food and a warm, inviting atmosphere. It’s a perfect spot to unwind and treat yourself in San Francisco’s nighttime scene.

I had a quick stopover for lunch at the much heard of Dunya. Cozy and pretty ambience, sweet service and fresh warm food. We got the mezze platter out of which muhammara, tzatziki and baba ganoush was lip smacking delicious. The pita served was nice & warm, so I ordered another portion!

Dining at Dunyā tonight has been the highlight of my week—a delightful distraction. The cuisine surprised me with its flavors, complemented perfectly by the wine selection. The attentive servers enhanced the experience, and the ambiance, along with the soothing music, left me feeling utterly relaxed. The Mix Meze Plate was a standout, each vegetable bursting with flavor and delicacy. And the tender lamb, paired with a delectable sauce, was a juicy revelation. The Moca coffee with Dunyā are same owner . Take a cup of coffee and step on next door, we spend half day here . Highly recommend ! We will come back again !

Perfect place for a date night. It is usually packed but we love sitting at the bar. The food is delicious. We usually get the mezze platter and octopus. We’ve also tried the kunefe (small but really yummy). We love the atmosphere here as the bartender and waiters are super nice and they generally leave us to ourselves (a refreshing change from most American places where you get interrupted quite a lot). The decoration is beautiful too. All in all: I definitely recommend Dunya.

Visited here for family dinner. Reservation is recommended. We ordered meze platter, Brussels sprouts, salad, lamb souvlaki with a bottle of red wine. Food was very tasty. Service was excellent. Highly recommend this place.

This has gotta be my new favorite spot for date nights! Low lit with limited intimate seating. We initially had a table but decided to sit at the bar. The menu is perfectly designed for shareables that pack so much heightened traditional flavors. The mixed grill is highly recommended- you get the grilled chicken skewers, lamb skewers, and keftedes (beef + lamb) with rice and chickpeas. Don’t sleep on those chickpeas!! Wine and beer only so the vibe is just right. Also the service is immaculate, such genuinely friendly staff with great recommendations. Love this place!
